Summary: "THE BOLDEST MOVE..." Young Emlyn strolls through Evergine Woods nearly everyday with her father and sometimes her mother to pick wild fruits and to play with her friends. Everyday, she goes to school, and everyday she plays with her friends. Emlyn lives in the province of Falkan where its distinct regions have marked it as a wonderful nature attraction, yet its people lived simple and independent. The towns people have lived in these distinct regions peacefully for decades. As the regions are half known, there comes a stranger living in the unknown depths with an erratic mind. Coming all the way from the outskirts of the loosely populated Deflon Village up north, the stranger roams southward deep into the vast Evergine Woods. The stranger is soon known to follow fellow townspeople and dispatch them from their ongoing, cherished lives. Being dextrous and vile in some cases, hardly anyone wishes to come near him less be found by him. A treacherous and wrongful creature he may be, but Emlyn has been spotted by the curious, shadowed soul. And now she steps into a risky path as she is new to this unsearchable criminal. Emlyn must take caution and advantage of the consequential situation before the stranger takes it to a level where it's too difficult to escape.

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.
